what is it with this guy...week after week after week of saying he had bad game plans, it was his fault, the defense is not playing well....He seems to be slow to realize that eventually people are going to add this up and conclude he might be the problem. If he was not a Ryan, I think his welcome would have been worn out long ago. He gets a big benefit of people associating him with the good to great defenses his dad and brother had.

I think it's a bit unfair at this point to fault Ryan for what this defense is doing. The entire center of his defense has been a turnstile with Lee, Carter and Church out for the season and Ratliff being back and forth. He has a rookie starting at Corner and the other Corner is in his first year. And let's not kid ourselves, this DL as a whole is a bit of a joke when it comes to pass rush. So, honestly, I'm not sure what you guy's were expecting, but, in my mind, what we've gotten is really better than what I expected.

AJ Green, Dalton, Green-Ellis, Gresham, a solid O-line, and some other speedy guys.
The offense needs to be rolling or you could be right.

Make no mistake, the Bengals will score and will likely score in bunches. The question is can they stop Dallas from doing the same. Sack leader or not, I have a feeling the Bengals defense will struggle as well this weekend.
